August 2014 Chapter

Welcome to the Read.Write.Repeat. monthly wrap-up. Every month, I give a quick overview of what books I read, the progress made on the 100 Best Novels goal, a few book-related links, and general blog news.

August News

It seems insane that this time one month ago, I was announcing our move. Now, I'm writing this post from my half-decorated office in our new home. We have been here nearly a week and things are slowly coming together. One thing I can say confidently already is that I love working from home. I am so much more productive and find it so much easier to focus. Proof that not all personalities belong in a traditional office setting.

I got very little reading done in August, thanks to the craziness of the move, saying goodbye to people, etc. Thank goodness I read so much in June and July to carry the blog through August. I'm excited to amp things back up in September.

In the mean time, here is a recap of what I actually did get around to this month...

Favorite Book Read: As always, I feel it's unfair to name Harry Potter as my favorite. After that, I'm going with Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. The Circle made me think a lot more, but Miss Peregrine was just fun and creative.

As we head into the fall, I am so excited to have more time to devote to reading and the blog. Right now, I have my hands on Sister Carrie, Pilgrim's Wilderness, and Mastering the Art of Soviet Cooking. Look forward to those and, hopefully, several more in September!
